This book takes a sociocultural, developmental and dialogical
perspective to explore the constructive and interconnected nature
of remembering and imagining. Conceived as cognitive-affective
processes, both emerge at the border of the person and his or her
socio-cultural world. Memory is approached as a functional adaption
to the environment using the resources of the past in preparation
for action in the present. Imagination is tightly related to memory
in that both aim to escape the confines of the concrete
here-and-now situation; however, while memory is primarily oriented
to the past, imagination looks to the future. Both are embedded in
the exchanges with the social and cultural milieu, and thus
theorizing them has relied on key ideas from Lev Vygotsky, Frederic
Bartlett and Mikhail Bakhtin. Thus, this book aims to integrate
theories of remembering and imagining, through rich empirical
studies in diverse cultural settings and concerning the development
of self and identity. These two groups of studies compose the
subparts that organize the book.
